Catherine Ann Salair/Salier born 16 Jan 1803 Lorquin, Moselle, France, Married Jean Louis Davinroy (1785-1875) Immigration between 1831-1833 to St. Clair County, Illinois. Died 20 Oct 1867 French Village, St, Clair County, Illinois.

Welcome aboard, Carol!

Your next step is to upgrade to family member. Then you can start adding your family branches and digging into the research. Once you have a few profiles added, come back here to the forum and post links or ID numbers so other members can help you.

You can also use the search page to search for your family. You can search for individual names or use the wild card in the first name field to search for anyone with that surname. Then narrow your results by date or location. The search page can be found under the Find drop down menu or start with the search box at the top of the page.

Good luck with your research and enjoy your journey into the past!
